Owen's Quilt

When my three year old asked me to make him a quilt after watching me make his cousin a quilt, I could not resist. I was just getting into quilting about a year after he was born. So he did not get a baby quilt. Actually, none of my kids did. And he fell in love with the soft minky blankets that you can buy at the store for a few bucks, so we just went with that. I figured once he asked me for one, that would be special and I knew I would love making it.

(The colors are a little off, but they are the DS quilts fabrics from Joann, so I'm sure you know what they look like in person. Blues, not black, greens, not yellow. I need a camera...)

And I did. Every time he saw me sewing he said, "Momma? Is that my kilt?" with such excitement in his voice that I couldn't take it! I worked quickly on it and finished it up with a soft minky backing so that he would enjoy the same feeling as his other blanket that he loves so much.

So here it is. I used the pattern Pow-Wow which you can find here. It was easy to understand and went together easily. Not to mention I have a lot of little HST's in greens and blues to make a new little project.

He loves his "kilt" but still doesn't use it. But it hangs off his bed and he knows it's his and that his Momma made it just for him...and that's enough.
